Picture Problems

There isn't much to report today on the craft front. I've been really busy with office work and haven't had a chance to do much over the last 2 days.

Tonight I made Meat Lovers Pizza for my hubby. He just loves homemade pizza!!! I must admit, I'm quite partial to it myself. I make the base out of a scone dow. It's one of my mums old recipes, here it is...

2cups S/R flour, 30g of butter and 250ml milk. You rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, then make a well in the middle and pour in the milk. Cut the milk into the flour with a knife. When it resembles a soft dough turn it out onto a floured surface and knead the mixture until smooth (approx 1min). Roll or shape into desired pizza base size, add topping and bake in the oven for 30min at 200'C.

When I got home from work today I was greeted, as I am every afternoon, by my gorgeous Dorper Ewes.It makes me realise how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful part to the country. I have an endless amount untouched bushland right at my back door and I just love it! My dad was lucky enough to purchase some 32,000acres of this bushland (a farm called Pattison) which has 12km river frontage. The family went over to Pattison for a drive on Sunday to do a bit of yabbing and fishing. Here's a pic of the river.I was wondering if anyone out there in blogger world would be able to help me with a little problem that I'm having with the photo upload for my profile. My problem is that I just can't do it!!! Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.Today's 'Get Happy Tip' #19 - Get Dirty!
